]]> Comment on Early Middle Ages (500-1000): Barbarians & the Papacy by jeremy.barahona http://www.firstboynton.com/2011/07/01/early-middle-ages-500-1000-barbarians-the-papacy/#comment-118 jeremy.barahona Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:07:02 +0000 http://www.firstboynton.com/?p=300#comment-118 Hello Joe, First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read the blog and verify what I wrote a couple months back. It's encouraging to know to that you value accuracy in regards to history. Second, I'd like to say that it was not my intention to be inaccurate nor biased in my understanding of that date. I am aware that there are other views that differ from mine. I can honestly say that the date I stated was derived from what I was taught and read. Up until now I have thought of this date as accurate, yet I'm still open to resources that say otherwise. Would you mind pointing me to these resources? I think your input and your concern will allow me to analyze and make further judgments. Thank you for your time and concern. In Christ, Jeremy Barahona Hello Joe,

As the Bishop of Rome already had most of the power he posses today during St. Augustine's time. When the bible was put together officially into one book it was sent to Rome for approval 397AD while Augustine was very much alive. Early church fathers epistles to one another clearly show the Church was very much so developed by the time of St. Irenaeus and St. Justin Martyr. We must not lie and deceive about history to try to prove our points. I find your analysis to be very biased and contrary to history and the history of the Church.

]]> Comment on Becoming a ‘Missional Church’ by Ray Diaz http://www.firstboynton.com/2011/09/02/becoming-a-missional-church/#comment-56 Ray Diaz Sat, 03 Sep 2011 03:30:25 +0000 http://www.firstboynton.com/?p=555#comment-56 It’s very exciting for FBCBB to focus on the mission that Jesus Christ has given those that He called to Himself: 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. – Matthew 28:18-20 The Lord Jesus has given us the ultimate privilege, to be a part of the greatest movement in the history of mankind, which is working for the Lord to glorify and honor Him by transforming and saving lives of His most precious creation, those created in His image. Surrendering and committing ourselves to be the disciples that Christ commanded us to be and in making disciples as we go into the marketplace as His witnesses, through the power of the Holy Spirit, in teaching and equipping people to become like our Lord Jesus, the Church and the community will experience incredible life transformation by His grace. Jesus’ plan to save the world was based on the faithful ones that heard His voice and followed Him, whom He relationally taught to become His disciples, so they could reach and teach (2 Timothy 2:2) those who entered into the kingdom of God through repentant faith. If we truly give our hearts to God’s plan of making disciples of all nations as Jesus Christ himself taught, lived, and commanded we will turn the world upside down. In Christ’s Love It’s very exciting for FBCBB to focus on the mission that Jesus Christ has given those that He called to Himself:
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. – Matthew 28:18-20

The Lord Jesus has given us the ultimate privilege, to be a part of the greatest movement in the history of mankind, which is working for the Lord to glorify and honor Him by transforming and saving lives of His most precious creation, those created in His image.

Surrendering and committing ourselves to be the disciples that Christ commanded us to be and in making disciples as we go into the marketplace as His witnesses, through the power of the Holy Spirit, in teaching and equipping people to become like our Lord Jesus, the Church and the community will experience incredible life transformation by His grace.
